What is MOPS?
MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) is an international organization for all moms of infants to kindergartners, providing an opportunity to meet other moms and make the journey of motherhood together.

In other words, it's a playdate for moms! We get together to share experiences and to find out we are not alone. We get a chance to get out with other moms who are going through the same things we are. We learn from each other, celebrate motherhood, support each other, and laugh--a lot!

Bring your children along! There is also a terrific childcare program called MOPPETS. We supply the childcare while you enjoy the company of other moms and your kids get to play. From newborns to preschoolers, they are all welcome!

What do we do?

Our group meets the second Monday of each month at Christ Alive Community Church from 8:45 to 11 am, September through May. At each of our meetings, moms enjoy a chance to socialize with other moms. We have a short time for announcements, fellowship and fun with a creative activity, followed by a speaker (on a topic moms would be interested in) plus a small group discussion that allows you to get to know other moms more closely.

In addition to meetings, we also plan some playdates and the ever popular mom's night out.

Our Core Values
We exist to...

* Champion all mothers
* Encourage and equip women to mother well
* Provide a safe environment where women can be real and be heard
* Allow women to gain perspective through laughter and joy
* Offer a place for women to connect and develop Godly relationships



We hope to see you in September
